Challenges using Scrum in a project if your company is a sub-contractor
Just imagine that You come to a different country and get a team of consultants with whom You need to do their first SCRUM implementation project. On top of that, it's not You who is managing the communication with the client, as You are only a sub-contractor. Not enough? You don't speak Official project language, what makes communication with the client VERY difficult. Want to know how it goes so far?

A general contractor can do a lot more than basic home repair and fix it projects. Use a contractor for home remodeling, rehab, or new construction. A contractor can recommend an architect and work with the architect you pick from the beginning. Have your general contractor help with zoning issues, and look at all the plans to see where you can save money. Watch this Expert Real Estate Tips video for more ideas on how to use your general contractor to the best advantage.

1만5천명 감원-3천만원 성과급…조선-정유 '극과 극'
A prolonged slump in global crude prices has been good for oil-related industries,... but bad news for others.
Among hardest hit are Korea's shipbuilding giants... who experienced eye-watering losses on the back of cancelled orders and delayed construction.
Kim Min-ji tells us more.
Korea's "big three" shipbuilders,... namely,... Hyundai Heavy Industries, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and Samsung Heavy Industries,... have been in choppy waters so to speak-- struggling to stay afloat amid falling orders as well as the rise of Chinese competition.
Last year,... they posted a combined loss of roughly seven billion U.S. dollars,... and as a result have been downsizing their labor forces.
Hyundai is expected to layoff about 3-thousand people this year,... after letting go of some 13-hundred workers last year.
More than 100 of its subcontractors also closed down last year.
Samsung has also cut almost 30 executive-level workers since last September,... while Daewoo is accepting voluntary resignations among some 300 high-level employees.
Sixteen contractors of the company have closed down since the end of last year -- with some 34-hundred people losing their jobs.
All in all,... some 15-thousand people were laid off last year,... and that figure is set to increase this year once the shipbuilders complete construction of offshore facilities scheduled to begin delivery next year.
But it's a different story for the oil refining and petrochemical industries,... which have been able to benefit from low global oil prices,... and increased refinement margins.
Workers have also received performance-based incentives,... amounting to between 700 and 800 percent of their monthly wages.
"With global oil prices decreasing by more than half,... there's been cancellations of offshore plants and no new orders. On the other hand, oil-related industries have been doing well thanks to increased demand and refining margins. The situation may get better for shipyards if oil prices rise to about 60 dollars a barrel,... but that's not expected this year."
The government on Tuesday will announce a financing plan for industries that urgently need to be restructured... with priority given to shipping and shipbuilding.
Korea's finance minister Yoo Il-ho says the utmost priority should be the measures and efforts taken by the companies and creditors,... and that the government's role should be to support them.

Plot

As described in a film magazine, two simple Belgian folk, Jeanne (Grant) and Victor (Whiteside), love each other. Victor is a gifted sculptor and is taken to Paris for training. There he meets Countess de Vries (Crute) and becomes infatuated. She is a German spy and meets many military men through him. Berger (Randolf), the postmaster in Belgium who is also a German spy, wants Jeanne for his wife. She resists him and goes to the church for protection. The machinations of the German secret service include every possible torment for those oppressed by their power, and when war is declared Jeanne would have suffered greatly had not Berger been killed when Victor was wounded. Jeanne nurses Victor back to health and over his heartbreak for the countess. True love returns, and together they work for Belgium and watch for the troops of a larger but not greater nation to come to their aid.

With an international touch NewEngineering is a costumer- solution- and development oriented business-to-business subcontractor with roots within the automation industry, oil & energy, offshore and the maritime segment.

The BRAND HoTT 2.0 multi-skills approach requires less operatives for the same scope of work on offshore platforms. Compared with the traditional approach where each subcontractor is specialised in one discipline, the HoTT 2.0 concept of BRAND will save time and will save cost. The multi-skill approach of BRAND will result in a reduction of non-productive time, a reduction of mobilisation costs and in an improvement of lead times.

Load out operations of the DolWin alpha topsides from Heerema's Zwijndrecht fabrication yard at the Drechthaven, located on the river Oude Maas.
This operation marks the start of a journey that the platform will make, via Schiedam, to its final offshore destination, the DolWin area in GermanNorth Sea. Here it will be positioned on top of the already installed jacket in July 2013.
The platform of DolWin1 was built by Heerema FabricationGroup's Zwijndrecht yard, as a subcontractor of TenneT's main contractor ABB.
The platform is 45 metres wide, 77 metres long and approx. 80 metres high (from the waterline to the top of the crane) and weighs more than 9,000 metric tonnes.

CLOV, a major deep offshore project

What is CLOV? It is how the 4th development of the Block 17 was named, it is a deep offshore development run by Total near the Angolan sea.
CLOV stands for the 4 oil fields’names (Cravo, Lirio, Orquidea and Violeta) which are 381km² lenght (around 3 times the size of Paris). The project was launched in 2010 (passing contractors with the subcontractors in charge of the manufacturing and the establishment). Underwater equipment for the production and storage platform were manufactured a few month after and it was in June 2014 that CLOV has begun its production. A production which will, at least, last 20 years. CLOV is designed to export all the gas to a liquefaction plant onshore in Angola. This “Zero Fla

Making Local Suppliers More Competitive in Oil and Gas Sector

Players in the Oil and gas sector, are hoping that coming oil and gas international conference will help suppliers and subcontractors understand how they can tap into the sector opportunities when exploration begins in 2020. UgandaChamber of Mines Chairman Dr. Elly Karuhanga says there several silent opportunities in the sector that are still untapped.

SALHeavyLift succeeds in the offshore wind energy sector: German engineering and services group Bilfinger was awarded the test pile contract for the Wikinger offshore wind farm project on the Baltic Sea and chose SAL Heavy Lift as subcontractor to transport and install the test piles and equipment with their DP Class 2 vessel MV Lone.
Test objectives are to confirm the design of the wind farm foundations and to check the performance of the piles against static, dynamic and cyclic loads specific for offshore structures.
For this technical challenging project, MV Lone was set up with several project equipment and was fitted out with an accommodation unit for additional 75 people necessary for the project. The installation engineering, motion analysis, rigging and sea-fastening design have been performed by the SAL engineering departments in Delft and Hamburg. Offshore rigging and lifting operations were jointly undertaken by Bilfinger's and the vessel's crew.
During the first phase, MV Lone served as an exceptional project platform with her 2000 m² of clear main deck and her two 1000 t SWL cranes. From the outset, piles, template, piling hammer and all associated equipment were carried altogether, resulting in a high degree of efficiency and minimizing port calls. Furthermore, as a DP Class II vessel, MV Lone can be made operational within a very short period of time: from arrival in the field, it typically takes less than two hours. On top, her operational speed of 20 knots further enhances the efficient services SAL offers to the client.

On the other hand, oil-related industries have been doing well thanks to increased demand and refining margins. The situation may get better for shipyards if oil prices rise to about 60 dollars a barrel,... but that's not expected this year."

The BRAND HoTT 2.0 multi-skills approach requires less operatives for the same scope of work on offshore platforms. Compared with the traditional approach where each subcontractor is specialised in one discipline, the HoTT 2.0 concept of BRAND will save time and will save cost. The multi-skill approach of BRAND will result in a reduction of non-productive time, a reduction of mobilisation costs and in an improvement of lead times.

Load out operations of the DolWin alpha topsides from Heerema's Zwijndrecht fabrication yard at the Drechthaven, located on the river Oude Maas.
This operation marks the start of a journey that the platform will make, via Schiedam, to its final offshore destination, the DolWin area in GermanNorth Sea. Here it will be positioned on top of the already installed jacket in July 2013.
The platform of DolWin1 was built by Heerema FabricationGroup's Zwijndrecht yard, as a subcontractor of TenneT's main contractor ABB.
The platform is 45 metres wide, 77 metres long and approx. 80 metres high (from the waterline to the top of the crane) and weighs more than 9,000 metric tonnes.

Players in the Oil and gas sector, are hoping that coming oil and gas international conference will help suppliers and subcontractors understand how they can tap into the sector opportunities when exploration begins in 2020. UgandaChamber of Mines Chairman Dr. Elly Karuhanga says there several silent opportunities in the sector that are still untapped.

SALHeavyLift succeeds in the offshore wind energy sector: German engineering and services group Bilfinger was awarded the test pile contract for the Wikinger offshore wind farm project on the Baltic Sea and chose SAL Heavy Lift as subcontractor to transport and install the test piles and equipment with their DP Class 2 vessel MV Lone.
Test objectives are to confirm the design of the wind farm foundations and to check the performance of the piles against static, dynamic and cyclic loads specific for offshore structures.
For this technical challenging project, MV Lone was set up with several project equipment and was fitted out with an accommodation unit for additional 75 people necessary for the project. The installation engineering, motion analysis, rigging and sea-fastening design have been performed by the SAL engineering departments in Delft and Hamburg. Offshore rigging and lifting operations were jointly undertaken by Bilfinger's and the vessel's crew.
During the first phase, MV Lone served as an exceptional project platform with her 2000 m² of clear main deck and her two 1000 t SWL cranes. From the outset, piles, template, piling hammer and all associated equipment were carried altogether, resulting in a high degree of efficiency and minimizing port calls. Furthermore, as a DP Class II vessel, MV Lone can be made operational within a very short period of time: from arrival in the field, it typically takes less than two hours. On top, her operational speed of 20 knots further enhances the efficient services SAL offers to the client.

Challenges using Scrum in a project if your company is a sub-contractor
Just imagine that You come to a different country and get a team of consultants with whom You need to do their first SCRUM implementation project. On top of that, it's not You who is managing the communication with the client, as You are only a sub-contractor. Not enough? You don't speak Official project language, what makes communication with the client VERY difficult. Want to know how it goes so far?

Use Your Contractor To Your Advantage

A general contractor can do a lot more than basic home repair and fix it projects. Use a contractor for home remodeling, rehab, or new construction. A contractor can recommend an architect and work with the architect you pick from the beginning. Have your general contractor help with zoning issues, and look at all the plans to see where you can save money. Watch this Expert Real Estate Tips video for more ideas on how to use your general contractor to the best advantage.

Massive layoffs expected at Korea's shipyards, subcontractors

1만5천명 감원-3천만원 성과급…조선-정유 '극과 극'
A prolonged slump in global crude prices has been good for oil-related industries,... but bad news for others.
Among hardest hit are Korea's shipbuilding giants... who experienced eye-watering losses on the back of cancelled orders and delayed construction.
Kim Min-ji tells us more.
Korea's "big three" shipbuilders,... namely,... Hyundai Heavy Industries, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and Samsung Heavy Industries,... have been in choppy waters so to speak-- struggling to stay afloat amid falling orders as well as the rise of Chinese competition.
Last year,... they posted a combined loss of roughly seven billion U.S. dollars,... and as a result have been downsizing their labor forces.
Hyundai is expected to layoff about 3-thousand people this year,... after letting go of some 13-hundred workers last year.
